Valley's Music Department serves a three-fold purpose in its active program of choral and instrumental music training. The department offers a practice ground for both the amateur and poten- tial professional musician, while provid- ing invaluable instruction for the student who plans to go into the educational pro- fession as a music teacher. Valley musicians create goodwill throughout the community with an active series of concerts in the area. The musical education maior receives added benefits from a program of stu- dent choir directors, which offers practical experience in organizing and carrying out choral performances. The department also encourages instrumental combos formed by student leaders, of which there have been many over the past years. The music department offers complete training in musicianship, harmony, counter- point, fundamentals of music, musical his- tory and literature, voice, college choir, a capella choir, elementary piano, orches- tra, college band and dance band. ,LIL n,,-- - ----W.-.I W 1. 1, 1 .11 SING SING-Music students Shelby Flint, Tony Reele and Leanore Briel pause for impromptu Ethel avenue concert.
